    Growing up in the 70's was great. I don't get offended by most things, I got to see the Dukes of Hazard and the A-Team first time around, I learnt that life can be unfair and it owes me nothing and I got to go on those space hopper things!

    That is just so lovely. I used to trek with Ray and the ponies. I spent most of my young life there whenever I could. Ray Smith was a wonderful man, he was very good to those horses and had a deep knowledge of the Black Mountains history an wildlife. He died in 1982 and over 300 hundred people attended his funeral. He was very special and this is a wonderful memory for me.

      Sally Hamlyn sadly trekking isn’t as widespread as it once was, not surprisingly the insurance premiums and all other costs involved with keeping ponies have rocketed making it an expensive day out. I had a summer job taking the treks out for Ian in Llangenny, I loved the ponies and couldn’t believe I was being paid for a job I’d have happily done for free. Fun, simple times that I miss.

      @@Monkey_Joe_Tokyo We worked for Ray during the summer, I loved it so much, I often wish I had just moved down there and made it my life, but never did. I did however get to buy one of the ponies when they sold up and had him for 17 years. You can just see him at the back of the trek, chestnut with the white star. He was 6 then and died when he was 33. I still miss him, so it is lovely to be able to catch a glimpse of him there.

      @Jerry Donohue In a sense we are already there with our virtue-signalling 'woke' culture. i.e. It is pure hypocrisy to pay attention to 'divisive' language while ignoring the poverty that actually creates the divisions. However, the 1970s smuttiness thing was purely a UK phenomenon. The puritanical Brits couldn't cope with the new permissiveness so they created a fig leaf of smut and double-entendres which permeated every aspect of popular culture at the time. It was really annoying.

    A few holiday suggestions for the discerning millionaire there. The only holiday I ever had was being shipped off to Grandma and Grandad in Surrey for a fortnight. It was quite exotic, though: the tap water was so 'hard' (infused with limestone) it may as well have been mango juice; all-day breakfast; Grandma was a fellow gee-gee aficionado so afternoons watching the box with her were very rare and valued instances of adult interaction which didn't involve getting a bollocking; I could walk over the road and watch fackin enormous machines laying the foundations for the M25. To this day, Chertsey never fails to get a mention on travel reports.
    I did eventually get to see the Brecon Beacons and it is indeed beautiful.

Stayed for a week spent the first 4 nights in an old converted Manor house & the last few camping on the lawns. Did Archery ,Kayaking , Horse Riding, Orienteering , Fencing , Abseiling and more .... well worth the £40 they paid to get me out of their hair for a week.

Young women and teenage girls (and boys as well) are the worst for this type of accent. Judith Charmers has a proper English accent. I don't mind different types of accent from which ever part of the country you are from (Cockney, Brummie, Scous, Goordie, Manchunian, Glaswegin, etc) or an American accent from a person from America, but the nonsense they go on with now is a disgrace.

    £25 for the week....absolute bargain....but probably a lot of money to some people back then....i'd rather do more pony trekking than water sports though.....and great to see none of them wearing helmets ....wouldn't be allowed today lol

      On the plus side with the canoes no animals are exploited.
      You can always trek with your own legs!

    Beautiful part of the world not far from where I grew up. When I was a kid I read a book called the Weathermonger set in the area around Ross, the Black Mountains, etc., about an England that magically rejected all modern technology and went back in time to the Middle Ages, and remember thinking how if that happened, it wouldn't actually be much different, lol. Very slow pace of life that I can't imagine has changed much in hundreds of years. And yes, for those who care about such things, it's all still very white, middle-class, Tory-voting around there. You're very unlikely to meet an immigrant (unless a recent income from London swapping their 1-bed flat for a rambling B&B and pricing out all the locals counts). I found it all a bit too bucolic and now live in a big city where my neighbourhood is like the United Nations, Tories are nowhere to be seen, and I couldn't be happier.

    Why pay thousands of pounds to go on a foreign holiday when this country is better... you don't have no queues at the airport or foreign currency to exchange or a foreign language or buy water..... it's the buying the water what's my point
    .... in England it's free ....tap water that is you can drink you can't drink tap water in foreign countries can you that's what I'm talking about when I mentioned water to me it is common sense what I am talking about

      I got two weeks in Morocco 400 quid, sunbathing in January whilst it pissed it down here. Airport ques were non existent as it was off season. You don't have to be fluent in a foreign language to order water either you just say "water" and they bring it you. You can keep your rainy camping trip lol

    The kayaks were called canoes here - most peculiar and confusing. The differences between kayaking and canoeing seem quite obvious but should have been completely obvious to a TV presenter to avoid that huge blunder! Odd.

      No, it's free speech. If we go down that path Fremantle would have to pay someone to regulate the comments of every UA-cam arsehole and distinguish irony, sarcasm and jokes from real racism. No. Either debate them or ignore them
